Been waiting a couple weeks to break out this Photoshop X-Process action, it didn't suit much. This super vintage GMC van fit the bill pretty good. Enjoy.

i have always found x process good for making muted images, using the action then bringing the saturation down loads, especially on the cyan
looks good!
 
Stuck in stop and go traffic I saw either a dark green or black 360 Spider.. it was pretty dark out. Heard it before I saw it! haha
 
I saw a white Lambo Gallardo LP-540. I creamed my pants and almost had a wreck.
 
Sorry for crappy phone pics :( I didn't have my digi cam with me. But on my way home today from school I saw a 512TR from the corner of my eye. And my god was is sexy. :drool: Oh yeah and sorry for the California sun... it was kind of bright today :crazy:





In about a month when I'm 18 and hopefully get a car I will be able to get to drive around and take photos. Defiantly going to hit up the city a bunch.
 
S14 --> S15 Body conversion maybe?

They only do the nose though as far as I've seen...

Imported is more likely than making a car that shares virtually nothing in dimensions with the S15. And an S14.5 or even S13.5 is more likely than importing buuuut I'm not going to doubt Cyborg's eyes.
 
Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe. Spotted last week in front of a Fudruckers burger joint of all places.

I discovered the iPhone does not take very good nighttime pics.



The owner was a nondescript chubby fellow apparently in his mid 20s. Not the type of person you'd expect to be ballin' in a Roller.

my first-ever spot of a Bentley Continental ('91-'03 model), this one on Honorary Consulate plates and parked in a disabled spot... truly the definition of old money.
 
Dang Doug!! You certainly know the spots to go to!! This Gallardo wasn't even a mile away from my house. Wouldv'e never seen it had my Uncle not told me of it!

Spotted this Elise but my Mom and I had to hurry to go somewhere. I was a bit heartbroken when I only got one halfway decent pic from the road and we had to go. But believe it or not, 2 hours later the car was still at Hooters on the way back!

Slow like molasses on a cold day.


Bentley Arnage T

Still refreshing to see pre-VW Bentley's.


Cadillac Escalade hybrid

Pointless...and too little, too late.


Cadillac limosine

Fairly old, and fairly...burgundy.


Chevrolet Camaro convertible 1967




Chevrolet Corvette convertible 1968




Dodge Magnum SRT-8

Depsite my low opinion about Chrysler's management, this car proves they have a sense of humor.


Dodge Ram SRT-10 Quadcab

Just what every contractor needs. Truly.


Ferrari 360 Spider

Becoming a rare breed around here.


Ford F100

Not sure if it's a F100, but it sure looked very appropriate to the season.


Ford Ranchero

Also very fitting to the season, although a bit less...cool.


Ford GT

Despite posting it before, I could not resist doing so again. It's just that awesome of a car.


Lamborghini Gallardo Spider

As evidenced by the UN garage, not all ambassadors are boring.


Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG

I swear this town has half the CLK63's sold in the US. Breed like flies, they do.


Porsche 911 GT2 (996)

I had to work the poor Civic hard to catch up with this guy. He was dicing it up with a stock-looking 2005 WRX. Well, "playing with" I suppose is the more appropriate term. A bit of traffic is the only way I could get even this close.


Last, and possibly least:

A sign of things to come?

Man, why do people actually buy those stupid side badges? They looked great on the Diablo, but they're too big now and look like a Ferrari rip off.

No camera, but saw a red Exige S leaving LA Fitness. Gorgeous car, tough to spot at night from the side.
 
We've got a rare-ish 360 Modena GT-B at our dealership at the moment, and a rollcaged / race ready Fiat 500 arriving anyday, i'll test my new phones camera and post some pictures asap :)

Anyways hes something cool in the meantime, our TVR Griffith 4.5 Big Valve (1 of about 7 produced) and my mates 2007 Ninja 636, photo after we went on a little hill mission ;)

There's an M3 badge on the side of the car.

C'mon Serge, you should know by now that not all BMW's with M3 badges are actually M3's, just as not all Audi's with S badges are actually Audi S-cars. ;)

BTW for reference here's an actual M3 Cabrio
